A Golden Opportunity To Rid The Nation Of The LTTE Permanently!!

It has to be emphasized that to make a meaningful progress toward a permanent resolution of the Sri Lankan terrorist problem every means of opportunity for the Tigers to regroup has to be cut off and a strong push as is being maintained now by the Sri Lankan Armmed Forces has to be relentless if the vermin which calls themselves liberation tigers are to be eradicated from Sri Lanka.

The Sri lankan authorities can ill afford to postulate on the pragmatism that the LTTE are now contained as this would be a cardinal error where the Armed Forces now have them on the run, their estimated fighting force of any effectivity leaving aside the women and children said to be no more than around 1400 cadre and the relentless pursuit if anything, needs to be intensified towards a permanent solution to Sri Lanka's insurgent problem as theer seems few alternatives towards resolution through meaningless dialogue with a bunch of terrorists whose desperations have intensified as have their depletions of force and effectivity as they have begun to fall by the wayside and seem to be in total disarray.

It has been proven time and time again however that the Tigers’ ability to re-arm themselves is an indisputable reality and positively needs to be curtailed with every means available and perhaps even by way of utilising anti LTTE forces from within the Tamil community itself of which there now happens to be an equitable quantity! While this is being initiated care must be taken to cut off all the sympathetic support from diaspora around the world where finances and moral support must be effectively monitoresd and snuffed out before the ever reach the Wanni and the rast holes of Velupillai Prabhakaran where flushing out the king rat and exterminating him would also be a choice perforce and even a foremost priority despite the fact that it has been overlooked in the past.

At long last the Armed Forces are getting the right drift towards the importance of flushing out the vermin which have plagued the nation for decades, hitting all LTTE targets which pose a threat to the Sinhala Nation and are getting about it very efficiently. All kudos to the status quo that they have taken a stance against the terrorists which should have been taken decades ago and seem to be headed in the right direction in the best interests of the nation as well as the entire region!
While the West still babbles on about the importance of a ceasefire there is an all out confrontation taking place presently in Sri Lanka between the legitimate forces set in place to defend her sovereignity and territorial Integrity and the insurgents of the LTTE hell bent to destroy Sri Lanka towards their own ends, it seems incredible that these pundits who still proclaim the merits of tolerance and negotiations fail to see the evil that is represented by the LTTE and perhaps high time they changed their rhetoric and attitude towards and perhaps even lend a helping hand by way of logistics, aramaments and military expertise despite the popular beliedf that this is wishful thinking!!

All this shop talk about a ceasefire and motivation towards a negotiated settlement seems a total waste of time at the present when very visibly the Armed Forces have the LTTE on the run and this time around they must not make the mistake of conciliation or any hesitancy towards routing what the entire world or at least a greater part of it views contentiously and wirh a great deal of contempt namely the LTTE as worthless condemned terrorist in need of relentless pursuit with every resource available towards the cause!

Using the yardstick that Tamil Tigers in the past, have entered cease-fires and MOUs in a weakened state and used the temporary breaks in hostilities to recover and re-fortify their position they must never again be afforded the opportunity to regroup and unleashing a scathing attack on Sri Lanka’s Tamil tigers seems very justifiable given the fact that they have had their chances and never came clean towards Governmental expectations where in the past they have even preyed upon the leniencies shown them by misguided administrations and hence the sorry state of affairs in Sri lankan today!

It is becoming painfully obvious that the imperative need to disassociate freedom loving civilised Tamils in Sri lanka from the rabid criminally motivated insurgents of the LTTE despite their false claims towards representing all Tamils in Sri lanka which is a concocted myth it is fast becoming an imperative consideration short of deluding oneself into beleiving that the LTTE could ever be granted any legitimacy when the foremost priority towards eliminating them screams out towards being set in place and now that the opportunity has presented itself it needs to be executed to the utmost efficiency and effectivity despite the risks involved.This is a golden opportunity for Sri Lanka to be permanently rid of the LTTE!
